Testimonial

Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions.

Description

In this program, students explore how to add interactive aspects to a mural project using technology created by Balam. Digital murals are narrative murals that can depict a landscape of ideas, events, and artifacts; including coding of the technology use. Students explore how to make murals more interactive. The process itself explores many STEM skills, and the theme of the mural or art piece can relate to any subject area.
